ft m'fr .a,

Afte her meeting with the newsboy and the washer-woman Serena, decided to go to another part of the city for a while. fShe thought she would like to see it everybody had a netsd of some sort. Before she cpuld make herself Invisible, however, she was attracted by a great commotion pn a little side street. It was a poor little street, with rickety dirty looking houses on either side. What was her surprise to see some rough looking men piling furni'ure on the broken sidewalk in front of one of these bouses, while front of one of these houses, while arms and several other children standing by her, cried wildly to them to stop. ''I have no place to go, I - tell you!" she was saying. "I must

stay here until I find another

house." - ''Fiay your rent, then you c$n

istay," said the roughest looking

one oi tnera an. 'What is the matter?'' asked Serena, of one of the children. "Daddy was Blnk so long that . we did not have the money tp pay

the rent, and the landlord is turn

ing us put," answered the hoy, "Do you peed. a house more than anything esef fluestioned. i Serena eagerly, "I guess we dq," said the woman. "Do you know where, we cpuld. go, little girl?"

She was just in time, for the Hoolibans appeared loaded down

with chairs, tables, cooking .uten

furniture small enough tor them to handle, Close upon their heels

They moved Into the new house , as naturally as if they had known all along they had it. But that is part of the fairy gift that it

always seems natural to receive it,

It was a yery relieved little fairy who turned to thank Mother for her help. . '"Are you having a good time, dear, or are you sorry you did not ask for the dress V said Mother, with her smile. "Oh, I'm so happy, Mother" I would rather do this than have an hundred dresses," answered the fairy-daughter rapturously. "Well, go on then; you have several hours yet, so make the most of them." Saying this. Mother disappeared as quickly as she came. -(To Be Contniued.)

in a clearing by the tream. Alter collecting some dry drift wood, they built a large cheerful fire and

then cut pieces for the side, and

after bending them in shape,, they fastened them to the backbone, as

Martin called It. Soon the frame

took shape into a' long, slender

After another poat of green paint was applied to the outside, and white pn the inside n4 four paddles were made, two of which were extras, they hamed the canoe the Green Flash. Toward the end of the vacation there was to be a boat race on Mirror Lake. At last the day came, and about ten canoes were in the race, among them the Green Flash. At "time" the starting pistol waa discharged, and they were off. The iftreen Flash was a fength behind the Red Streak, and so it kept up until the race was half over. The Green Flash came up with its rival, passed it, and won by" a half length. When the people came home they said that the, Green Flash " sure did flash ! "Paul Behwendenmann, St. Andrew's.

OUR TINY BIRD FRIENDS

(The following Interesting article Is fifth ol a series on nature subjects,, written especially fr,lhe Junior Palladium, by , Prof. Millard S. Markle, head of the department of biology, of Earlham college ) i The Chickadee Some of the birds we have, In winter are so smal that many persons do not see them at all. Ope of these Is th phickadee. It is here all the year and. in the summer makes its' nest in hples hi trees, "stumps, and other similar places. One nested in the top of an iron hitching post on the Eariham college- campus. ' It is easily recognised by its black cap and neck-tie, and gray body, wngs and tail.' It s only about four inches long. Its-son la cheerful and tells ua its name. It gets its food by searching the tiny twigs of the trees fpr insects and insect eggs, and is often seen panging head downward from the un4er side pf a twig. Chickadees are Quite tame and have been known to alight on the hat or hands of persons who feed them. Titmouse Is Quite Vociferous

ithe school year they had talked

about camping in Martins fathers woods. At the end of the year they started to make preparations for camping. They took with them hatchets, a tent, cots, and other camp necessities, including large

They liyed in wigwams made pf deer skins and raised corn and made cprn-meal. Thpy killed bears and deer, and cookeq them and ate them. Indians use bows and arows. The Indian boys went put hunting and Sbot'rabbitg andf squirrels. The girls went walnut hunting and sometimes cracked them and afe them- "vVhen they came home, their mothers put the"nuts in a ba: made of deer skin or bear skin. The Indian fathers went hunting and shot bears and deers. They made canoes out of birch tree bark, the bows and arrows put of a limber piece of birch tree. The indian mothers had to take care of the 'gardens, and hoe and plant ' the corn, and pull it. They would grind it. They did not have apples or pears. It was all dark In the woods a lpng time ago- There wer no white people there then. There weae only Indians and later there were Pilgrims. Some of the Indians were kind to the Pilgrims, and some were not. Indians helped them. A long tjme after that our white men had a big fight with the Indians, and chased them out of their land. Now we live in their land. gome of the Indians that lived in another country made houses out of mud and sticks. The Indian girls strung beads and wove baskets out of grass. They made beads out of pretty shells that came from a big river. The men wore hata filled, with bright-colored feathers. Roderick Rich, 3A, Vaile school. Nellie Shot the Chutes in This Grain Elevator Nellie, a fox terrier, warns all the dogs ia the world to , watch their step. Nellie didn't do that when she visited the Consolidated "Grain Elevator at Williams, Ont. Curious abOBt a big belt flying along with its load of wheat Nellie stepped on It. Before she oould even yelp she was whirled into the shipping bin in a maelstrom of grain, dropping fifty-fire feet into darkness. Before she could get to her feet she was sucked into the chute leading to the hold of a steamer. At the other end of the chute was a government Inspector carrying out his testing duties. The hurtling dog carried the sampling case out of his hand. A dock worker jumped Into the hold and rescued Nellie and the sampling case. A sneeze was the only 111 effect of her eventful trip.
